The beloved Kentucky Wildcats are four games into their ’06-’07 campaign, and were just barely eliminated from the Maui Invitational by #5-ranked UCLA. It’s a promising start to what could be a quirky season. A bunch of new faces, old roleplayers, and the Huckleberry Hound-esque Randolph Morris pepper the roster, which has the chance to be a dangerous team. Let’s have a look at the ‘Cats and their schedule, shall we?
The cast:
1 Michael Porter G 6-2/180 Fr – “3-pt specialist” = “white”
3 Ramel Bradley G 6-2/176 Jr – Hustles, but sloppy
5 Derrick Jasper G 6-6/213 Fr – Exciting w/ long arms
10 Lukasz Obrzut C 7-0/270 Sr – Flashes of near-brilliance
13 Bobby Perry F 6-8/215 Sr – The glue
20 Jodie Meeks G 6-5/206 Fr – Young for his age
21 Perry Stevenson F 6-9/178 Fr – Beanpole
23 Sheray Thomas F 6-8/236 Sr – Can throw down at times
32 Joe Crawford G 6-5/211 Jr – Ridiculously streaky
33 Randolph Morris C 6-11/259 Jr – Show us something!
42 Mark Coury F 6-9/239 Fr – Who?
43 Jared Carter C 7-2/250 So – Hold your arms up
The plan:
11/22 at No. 11 Memphis – Another tough early test
12/2 at No. 2 North Carolina – Great chance for great upset
12/9 Indiana – Talk about scrubs…
12/16 at Louisville – Grrrrr
02/10 No. 1 Florida – Huge.
02/13 at No. 21 Tennessee – Vols suck
02/17 at No. 9 Alabama – Could be ugly
02/20 No. 6 LSU – Last game of the Death Stretch
03/4 at No. 1 Florida – Ugh.
Kentucky’s Rajon Rondo to hire agent, test draft
Dang. Good luck.
Korvotney – I have no idea what language that is. Polish? Russian? Albanian? Alabamian?
Yellawood – Alabama’s version of Hollywood? The sign even read “Yella!” (as in, “atcha boy”)
Dollard – I’ve heard dullard and I’ve heard dollar. Either way, his game is worth the same.
Rekalin – Misspelling of “recliner”?
Quantez – Named after the movie?
Smith finds fax; Morris will return Jan. 10
Tubby was rummaging through his desk and found a fax that ‘A’Dolph sent him that said something like “I’m testing the waters”, so once they sent it to the NCAA, Morris’ suspension was reduced to a half-season (14 games), which means he’ll be back soon. We need him worse than a goat needs his tin cans, so we’ll take him.
Like ESPN says: why did this take so long? Is Tubby that sloppy or did they just fabricate it?
Kentucky coach says Williams has bright future
Yeah, ok. Whoever he is. He can’t be that good if he can’t get any PT from the bums we have out there now.
10 reasons not to be blue over the Blue
No championships are won or lost in December. True.
Obviously.
Dude gets 19 boards one night, none another. Can sort of make assists, but definitely can’t drive & kick. He can run the break, but it usually breaks more than it runs.
Palacios sits out practice, likely to play
Bum ankle. We need to make him move around the court. Maybe set his shorts on fire.
